the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The communication blockade and strict restrictions on movement of journalists resulted in a virtual blackout and media reporting and publishing was grievously impacted,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>It said on August 5, orders under section 144 of the CrPC were issued and all of Kashmir was placed under a de facto curfew and severe restrictions imposed on movement.<\/p>\n<p>Press identity cards of reporters were not given any attention and they were effectively disabled from reporting on the situation by restricting their movement, the petition said, adding that due to severe and pervasive restrictions imposed by authorities her newspaper Kashmir Times, Srinagar edition could not be distributed and circulated on August 5.<\/p>\n<p>The editor submitted that since August 6 the newspaper&#8217;s Kashmir edition has not been printed and published as complete and absolute restrictions on communication services and movement has resulted in the imposition of a de facto blockade on media activities, including reporting and publishing on the situation in the valley.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In view of the absolute and debilitating curtailment of the right to report of the press and media and the violation of petitioner&#8217;s right to practice her profession, the petitioner is constrained to approach this court under Article 32 of the Constitution seeking immediate and appropriate relief for safeguarding the rights available under Article 14, 19 (1) (a), and 19 (1) (g) and 21 of the constitution filed thorough advocate Vrinda Grover,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>In the petition, the journalist has sought a direction for the Centre and the state administration to take all necessary steps for ensuring free and safe movement of reporters, journalists and other media personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the petitioner has sought framing of guidelines to ensure that the right and means of media personnel to report and publish news is not unreasonably curtailed through the issuance of orders by the authorities or any other authority suspending telecom or internet services.<\/p>\n<p>The journalist has also sought a direction for setting aside or quashing any and all orders, notifications, directions or circulars, whatever the case maybe, issued by authorities, under which all modes of communication, including Internet, mobile and fixed landline telecommunication services, have been shutdown, suspended or in anyway made inaccessible or unavailable in any locality\/area\/district or division or region of the state for being ultra vires of the Constitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A petition was on Saturday filed by an editor of a prominent daily from Jammu and Kashmir in the Supreme Court seeking removal of restrictions imposed on working of journalists in the state after scrapping of provisions of Article 370.
